I think this dress is hanging on me differently?!

The image on the left was the reason I started. When I saw that picture I was shocked at how I looked. The image on the right is 15 pounds later. (209 lbs to 194 lbs, (94.8 kg 87.9 kg). I am 6 feet, 1 inches tall (184 cm).

Also, today at the gym I benched three sets of 10 with 25-lb weights on each side of the barbell. I felt so strong!!

    Thank you! It's hard to tell and I didn't do proper "before" pictures, so putting on that same dress was the best I could do. But clothes are fitting differently. Skirts with zippers that used to dig into me are comfortable and, in some cases, falling down and need to be taken in. I'm getting married this summer and I really want good looking arms more than anything, so I've been lifting really heavy at the gym, too!

    It's funny you mention arms, because I noticed the change in them even more than the change in the dress. Way to go!

    Wow, I see a lot of changes! Legs, neck, arms, face ;) (less purple in the after photo), waist, etc. Amazing the changes in only 15 lbs. You look great and what a fantastic job you've done!!

    Thank you everyone for the positive feedback! It's a little scary to post photos, and I do appreciate the encouraging words!

    I hope this ^ didn't sound odd.. I meant I'm amazed that such changes occur in 15 lbs. I have so much to lose so 15 would of course look different on me. My mind is so often blown when a member shows a 10 lb or 15lb drop and so many lovely changes have taken place. So I do hope it didn't come across in bad way... not meant that way in the slightest!! :smiley:

    Yep looking good. The dress falls better over your hips and stomach and your arms look in better shape. Keep it up!

    Yeah, huge difference. No way I would have guessed only 15 pounds. My guess is all that hard work at the gym made you so lean. Fantastic job, you look really fabulous!!!!!!!!

    I'd say its hanging on you differently! You look like you've lost way more than 15lbs but weight looks different on different on different people. Great job!

    lol. Three sets of 95x10. That's like my 1 rm.

    You look great!
